1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65+
Highly Lustrous, Strong Strike

1857 1C MS65+ PCGS. The 1857 Flying Eagle cent represents the first of two regular issues in the short-lived series. More than 17.4 million coins were struck, and thankfully enough survive in high grades to make the date collectible through MS65. This Gem is highly lustrous with luminous coppery, tan-gold surfaces. The strike is strong on the eagle and wreath, and a single tick at 4:30 on the reverse merits mention. PCGS reports 27 finer submissions (7/21).(Registry values: N2998)
